Dawn, I think we all need to be aware of our surroundings just in case we can't get to that gun or knife.

If you have lots of keys (like I do) then a large carabiner can be used to hold all the keys, clip to your belt or purse and in a fight it's useful as aluminum knuckles (you can pick these up at sporting goods stores like REI). Also keep hornet spray around that stuff is terrible and shoots 20 ft.

Y'all,

This gives a whole new meaning to the term "PACKING HEAT" if you've got a can of Hot Shot on you!

I had a rattlesnake once and there was a fly in the glass case and I squirted a tiny tiny shot in it and the snake went into convulsions..died in 30 minutes...good to know..

Dawn we use to keep 100+ snakes at our home in Florida......we were in nuisance wildlife control and did seminars on snakes at the schools, libraries, etc. We found out real quick that snakes are highly sensitive to sprays........something to remember if out in the woods and you happen on a creepy crawly. Some of these sprays ould stop an intruder as they can cause allergic reactions......I for one am allergic to Deet. Just another thing that can be used in a tight spot.

I usually have all kinds of pointed, sharp things on me at all times, and several puppydogs.

I got bite by a snake this past year out in the woods camping, praticing....made me sick as a dog, and it was a small snake, too!

I got my revenge....I cooked it and ate it.
